Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, has been named the PFA Player of the Year, marking a historic moment for the club as he became the first United player to win this accolade since Wayne Rooney in 2010. Fernandes' extraordinary campaign saw him set a new Premier League record with 21 assists, surpassing the previous joint record held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. In addition to his assists, he netted nine goals, helping Manchester United secure third place in the league, thus returning the club to the Champions League under the management of Michael Carrick, according to Reuters, IndiaTimes, and Al Jazeera.

Fernandes not only clinched the PFA award but also achieved a personal milestone by winning the Premier League Player of the Season and the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year awards, marking a clean sweep of major individual honors for the 2025-26 season. He expressed pride in receiving recognition from his fellow professionals, stating, “It is obviously a very proud moment. They are the ones you go on the pitch against, and it’s probably not easy to vote for someone you play against,” highlighting the significance of the award, according to Reuters and Al Jazeera.

Alongside Fernandes, Manchester City's Khadija Shaw won the Women’s Player of the Year award for the second consecutive time. Shaw had a standout season, scoring 21 goals and securing the Golden Boot while leading her team to its first Women’s Super League title in a decade. Her contributions were pivotal in establishing City as a dominant force in women's football, according to Reuters and IndiaTimes.

The composition of the PFA Premier League Team of the Year reflected the strength of Arsenal and Manchester City, with Fernandes being one of only two players outside these clubs selected for the team, the other being Brentford's Igor Thiago. Arsenal dominated the lineup, contributing five players, while City's presence was significant with four selections, underlining the competitive nature of the season, according to Al Jazeera and IndiaTimes.

In a night of recognition, Nico O’Reilly from Manchester City was also honored as the Men’s Young Player of the Year, showcasing his exceptional talent during the season. O'Reilly's accomplishments at the club level and his contributions to the England national team, including a bronze medal at the World Cup, attest to his bright future, according to Al Jazeera.
